, at many points, a will of the whisp, was not that he couldn't figure out he had to do more on the economy to get reelect the, but because he was willing to risk reelection for the sake of doing something permanent to expand the state and to realize more of liberalisms goals. he is, to that extent, he is doing what the markists call heightening the contradictions. he is, in a certain way, begging for the crisis to come, accelerating the crisis, and that's because, i think, and i could be wrong about this, it may be he finds a way to compromise in the second term, if there is one, but i think the game he's playing is more ideological than that, and i think that he would not reject the chance to put it conservatively to have a real fiscal crisis in which there's no stark alternatives. either taxes must go up enormously in order to fund the present promises and some of the future promises made in the welfare state, or we must fundamentally trim the welfare state, and i mean, that would be an opportunity, as i say in the book to sweetennize the american economy and to move from a federal gover
